Tell us: After Anthony Davis which draftee has best upside?

There is nothing like betting on the roll. And there is no roll more precarious than the NBA draft.

We bet on the "Who" and we're convinced we get fooled again.

Certainly, Kentucky's Anthony Davis won't fool us.

Once New Orleans calls his name tonight they can pencil him into the starting lineup and barring injury keep him there until his contract runs out.

But there is a lot of talent coming behind the Wildcat superstar. Including one of his teammates.

And since we can't really decide who should go No. 2 to Charlotte we certainly can't be convinced that there is another can't miss prospect out there.

Not to say we're not talking about a lot of talent. Thomas Robinson of Kansas improved more than almost any other player in his final two seasons. Florida's Bradley Beal is a great scorer as is North Carolina's Harrison Barnes.

And you only have to go 8 miles down the road in North Carolina to find one of the best freshman of 2012 in Duke's Austin Rivers. If you need a 7-footer then why should Andre Drummond not be the man?
